I'm not going to waste my time reading Wikipedia about a film that has basically outlived it's usefulness. It introduced the concepts and scientists on the skeptical side.
It is what it is. It did what it did. Nothing changes that.

Recent events up to and including the collapse of the Copenhagen Agreement are much more important. There are far bigger fish to fry at this point. I would venture a guess that we are now watching the beginning of the end of "The Great Global Warming Swindle".

Any Canadian PM more apprehensive about the economy and welfare of Canadians would enthusiastically and ardently oppose any form of the fraud known as "Cap, Tax, & Transfer”. This world economic restructuring scam will devastate the Canadian economy, transfer billions of our tax dollars to corrupt socialistic/communist countries, transfer tens of thousands of our jobs, and diminish our standard of living

Now that communism has been invalidated, “Climatism” is the new “ism” adopted by the extremists as their vehicle to increase taxes and transfer wealth just as Trudeau’s National Energy Program was intended. The inconvenient truth is that the job slaughtering "Cap, Tax & Transfer" scheme that left-plunging Harper and Prentice are about to inflict us is a stealth strategy for enormous, disingenuous long-term, structural tax increases. "Cap, Tax & Transfer" will evolve around an economic Ponzi scheme that includes an enormous new source of tax revenue to the Canadian government to allow it to continue its current expansion into the private sector, will transfer billions of our tax dollars to undeserving often corrupt countries, will demolish tens of thousands of high paying manufacturing and service jobs, will result in the transfer of political power to the emerging global governance and bureaucracy, and will be a devastating disasters for our children's standard of living.

The Climate Change Fund (CCF) as planned, will increase the reach, power, and authority of global governance and transfer at least $100 billion a year to the nations (many corrupt, some communist) of the world who repudiate creating their own wealth. The recipients, who are commonly corrupted/socialistic leaders, are demanding annual transfers of hundreds of billions of dollars, and on top of that, if you can believe it, they don’t want the donor countries to have much authority as to how the money is spent (wasted), to monitor the spending of our tax dollars, or to authenticate emission reductions. Harper must amend comrade Prentice’s tax increasing proclamation by asserting that Canada categorically will not raise the necessary taxes which will be required if we contribute to this scam fund which will finance the retirement funds for thousands of corrupt, socialistic, illegitimate, wack-job leaders such as the Mugubes, Kims, Hus, Ahmadinejads, and Chavezes of this world. Surely we all remember the last time that the UN was given responsibility to administrate a multibillion dollar program, and how they incompetently screw-up the corrupt “Food for Oil” fund.

Countries that participate in this Cap, Tax & Trade wealth transferring and tax increasing scam will discover that the price of all goods and services such as gasoline, electricity will increase. The increase in the price of Canadian goods will make them less competitive in world markets. Canadian producers will suffer in export markets and domestically in competition with goods imported from countries that do not impose high implicit tax on CO2 emissions. The results of course will be massive manufacturing and service industry job losses leading to a much lower standard of living for us and especially our children. In fact, a 2009 study by economists at the California State University at Sacramento found that the implementation cost “could easily exceed $100 billion” and that the program would raise the cost of living by $3,857 per household each year by 2020. So much for the so-called free green lunch!

Cap, Tax & Trade will obviously require a massive increase in the size and cost of government to taxpayers as immense bureaucracies are created to determine pollution levels and administer permits, gather data, monitor and audit compliance, investigate alleged violations and ultimately enforce emission standards and levels through penalties, fines and litigation.

The latest scientific evidence indicates that the climate may not have changed in the last eleven years, and that the so-called “climate change” is a socialistic hoax to transfer wealth. Therefore, at this time our PM must not annihilate the Canadian economy just to please the left-wing extremists who insist on higher taxes and wealth transfers. British climate expert Anthony Cary reports that “climate science is in its infancy….only fools or rogues pretend to be sure of what is going on. Our climate models are barely predictive”. Rational people would think that the first step must include legitimate research and informed discussions pursuant to the current climate change paradigms rather than relying on erroneous computer models based on left-bias assumptions and manipulated data by some rogue “scientists”. These scientists are competing in a culture of exaggeration for the finite number of government research dollars by fabricating gloom and doom fantasies. The deliberations must include more than incontrovertibly paying attention to the biased press and environmental NGOs, each of which have their far-left agendas plus incentives to increase their influence and earnings or government grants. Step two would mandate the private sector, including the investment community possibly with tax incentives, to research, develop, produce, and implement technology necessary, such as carbon capture and sequestration, to resolve any climate problems that might be scientifically and legitimately confirmed to be acute; by reducing the carbon intensity per unity of production.

It is becoming increasing transparent that the so-called “climate change” panic is nothing more than a deception by far-left wealth redistributing advocates. Unfortunately Canada does not have a small-c fiscal conservative PM, nor are small-c conservatives represented in the Conservative Party or the Canadian Parliament, so left- plummeting Harper will likely effusively partake in this wealth transferring swindle which will begin slaughtering the Canadian economy. It is important that, if our left-plunging PM is susceptible enough to fall for this con, he at least include existing development aid.
